Mrs Di Gasson

I am very sorry to announce that Mrs Di Gasson has sadly lost her fight against cancer and passed away on Wednesday 11th November 2009.

Di was a truly inspirational colleague, teacher and friend for almost 20 years. For much of this time, she was an outstanding Head of Creative Arts who worked tirelessly to ensure that her students reached their full potential. Di was also a source of great support to her colleagues. She always led by example and has been instrumental in creating the fantastic Drama department we are so proud of today.

I am sure that many former colleagues and ex-students would like to have the opportunity to send messages of support or tributes to Di’s work. These will be collated and presented to Di’s family in the near future. Please address these to me, in the first instance, via our school address  or contact me by email: jford@imberhorne.co.uk

Mrs Di Gasson’s funeral will be on Friday, 27th November at 2:15pm at the Surrey and Sussex Crematorium. There is room for 90 seated and 90 standing in the big chapel - the family is happy for anyone to attend.

The family have requested donations are passed to St Catherine’s Hospice. If you would like to make a donation, you may do this directly with the funeral directors: P&S Gallagher, Fraser House, Triangle Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex RH16 6HW, or alternatively send your cheque donation to Mrs J. Botting at school and it will be included in the school’s overall donation.

Jon Ford, Headteacher

We will be seeking host families between: 29th March 2010 and 2nd April 2010

Please take some time to look at the step-by-step guide to using the ‘mymaths’ website which Mr Keating outlined at the Year 8 Briefing Evening in September 2009.

The ‘mymaths’ website is used with all students in Years 7-11. As a parent you will be able to log in using your son’s/daughter’s log-in details and see the fantastic benefits it has for tutoring and testing your child in all aspects of mathematics. Regular use, at home, will ensure that they give themselves the best chance of doing really well in revising for any external exam or end of unit test.

Please contact Mr Keating if your son/daughter does not have their login details. Years 8-11 have all been distributed. Year 7 will be distributed shortly.
